1. Participants are asked to share a recipe that fits the week's theme, and an original picture of the dish. You can submit them by private message on our Facebook page or via email to [email protected]

2. You can participate in as many weeks as you'd like, with as many recipes per week as you'd like. The more people we have participating the more fun this is going to be. I've given you the list of themes in advance so you have plenty of time to think about what you'd like to do. 

3. You can submit recipes for any theme week at any time - just please be sure to tell me what week it is that you are contributing for.

4. At the end of our Potluck Summer, I will be compiling ALL of the recipes shared into a book. Everyone who participates will get a free ecopy. Submitting a recipe is your way of acknowledging that you are willing to have your recipe included in the publication. 

5. Have fun! Be creative. Make old favorites, try new recipes! Participate!! :)
